Pantheon
Champions that beat Pantheon
- Blitzcranksupport
Blitzcrank's Rocket Grab fires from ~925 units, outranging Shield Vault's 600 dash. Pantheon gets hooked and pulled out of Aegis Assault frontal cover into Power Fist knock-up follow-up.
- Galiomid
Shield of Durand (W) taunt cancels Comet Spear (Q) windup, and Justice Punch (E) knockup interrupts Shield Vault (W) stun before it lands. With no dash in his kit Grand Starfall (R) is the only escape route once Galio engages.
- Leonasupport
Leona chains more crowd control than Pantheon — Zenith Blade root, Shield of Daybreak stun, and Solar Flare R AoE stun all fire in sequence while Pantheon has only Shield Vault's W stun.
- Lulusupport
Lulu's Whimsy polymorph cancels Pantheon's W Shield Vault dash mid-cast, freezing him in place for ADC follow-up. Help, Pix! shields the ADC through Comet Spear poke chip, and Wild Growth knocks Pantheon airborne out of Aegis Assault stab range,
- Miliosupport
Milio's Breath of Life R cleanses Pantheon's Shield Vault stun chain at long range, undoing the entire engage commit. Warm Hugs shield plus speed buff peels the ADC out of W stun range, and Cozy Campfire heal zone outpaces Comet Spear tap damage on stationary targets.
- Threshsupport
Thresh's Death Sentence fires from ~1100 units, outranging Shield Vault's 600 dash. Pantheon gets hooked and pulled before he can W onto the ADC, and Flay knockback cancels his W stun follow-up by repositioning him out of Comet Spear tap range.
Champions Pantheon beats
- Yonemid
Shield Vault W stuns through Mortal Steel Q wind-up at level 2, locking Yone out of his tornado setup. Comet Spear Q empowered cone bursts Yone's HP before level 6 and Immortal Shieldbow, and Aegis Assault E blocks the auto-attack damage Yone needs to charge Q stacks.
- Yonetop
Shield Vault W stuns through Mortal Steel Q wind-up at level 2, locking Yone out of his tornado setup. Comet Spear Q empowered cone bursts Yone's HP before level 6 and Immortal Shieldbow, and Aegis Assault E blocks the auto-attack damage Yone needs.
- Bardsupport
Pantheon all-ins at level 2-3 punish Bard's weak early stats. Comet Spear (Q) plus Shield Vault (W) stun bleed Bard's no-sustain pattern while Caretaker's Shrine (W) needs 10 seconds to charge, and Aegis Assault (E) blocks Cosmic Binding (Q).
- Brandsupport
Comet Spear (Q) has similar effective range to Sear (Q) but with a faster cast. Whoever lands the setup first wins the trade — Pantheon also has Aegis Assault (E) block on Q projectiles and Mortal Will passive empowered W stun to seal the all-in.
- Caitlynbot
Caitlyn has no dash beyond 90 Caliber Net's short knockback — Shield Vault's W gap-closes 600 units onto her every time she steps up to last-hit, eating the full W stun and Comet Spear tap follow-up.
- Cho'Gathtop
Shield Vault (W) point-and-click stun cancels Rupture (Q) cast mid-windup, and Comet Spear (Q) spear poke bullies Cho before Riftmaker comes online. Aegis Assault (E) blocks Vorpal Spikes (E) auto-attacks during trades.
- Fizzmid
Shield Vault (W) point-click stun and shielded Comet Spear (Q) poke out-trade Fizz at levels 1-3 before Chum the Waters (R) spike. Aegis Assault (E) blocks the spellblade burst, and Grand Starfall (R) follows him during Playful / Trickster (E).
- Gwentop
Shield Vault (W) stun is point-and-click and chains lock Gwen out of Hallowed Mist (W) activation. Comet Spear (Q) ranged poke hits her outside mist, and Grand Starfall (R) global drop allows him to re-engage after she resets her dash.
- Jannasupport
Janna's Howling Gale charges visibly from the cast position, giving Pantheon time to W during the windup before the knock-up fires. Monsoon channel forces her to stand still while Comet Spear hold-throw poke chunks her,
- Kennentop
Shield Vault (W) stun cancels Slicing Maelstrom (R) channel mid-cast — Kennen loses the AOE stun setup before any Mark of the Storm (P) stack lands. Comet Spear (Q) chunks him outside auto range, and Aegis Assault (E) tanks Electrical Surge (W) on-hit burst.
- Namisupport
Nami's Aqua Prison is a slow bubble Pantheon dodges with E movement during the cast, and Tidal Wave R is a delayed projectile that telegraphs from across the map. Ebb and Flow chain heal cannot outpace W stun plus Comet Spear tap damage,
- Nunu & Willumpjungle
Pantheon's Comet Spear stuns through Absolute Zero from 1200 units, cancelling the channel from outside Nunu's W range. Aegis Assault blocks Snowball Barrage projectiles in a wall, and Grand Starfall lets him follow up from across the map after the failed channel,
- Qiyanamid
Pantheon's Shield Vault stuns through Qiyana's Terrashape dash before she picks up an element, denying the Edge of Ixtal proc and the wall-stun setup. Comet Spear at long range pokes her out of W brush stealth approaches,
- Seraphinesupport
Comet Spear (Q) outranges High Note (Q) and Shield Vault (W) stuns through Surround Sound (W) shield. Aegis Assault (E) blocks all incoming damage during the Beat Drop (E) cast window, and Pantheon's Mortal Will passive empowers an instant kill on Seraphine pre-3.
- Sonasupport
Sona has no hard crowd control to interrupt Shield Vault's W dash until level 6, and Crescendo R is a slow skillshot Pantheon sidesteps with E movement. Aria of Perseverance heal cannot outpace W stun plus Comet Spear tap damage,
- Talonmid
Pantheon's Shield Vault W is a point-click stun-dash that hits Talon mid Assassin's Path E exit, freezing him at the wall-vault landing frame. Comet Spear Q out-pokes him from outside Rake W range, Aegis Assault E shield-blocks Noxian Diplomacy Q damage,
- Taricsupport
Pantheon's Shield Vault W point-click stun-jump lands before Dazzle E finishes its 1.25s charge animation, and Comet Spear Q chunks Taric levels 1-5 with no Cosmic Radiance R safety net.
- Vel'Kozmid
Pantheon Shield Vault (W) is a point-and-click dash stun that interrupts Vel'Koz Life Form Disintegration Ray (R) channel mid-cast. Comet Spear (Q) empowered by Mortal Will passive deletes him during the stun and Grand Starfall (R) lands global pressure on his lane priority.
- Yasuomid
Pantheon beats Yasuo flat in short trades before level 6 and Immortal Shieldbow. Comet Spear Q empowered cone bursts Yasuo's HP, Shield Vault W stuns in melee blocking his Q stack setup, and Aegis Assault E blocks the auto-attack damage from Yasuo's Q autos.
- Yuumisupport
Yuumi has no hard crowd control to interrupt Shield Vault's W dash, and her You and Me! attach mechanic forces her ADC to stand still while Pantheon engages. Prowling Projectile slow does not stop the dash mid-flight,
- Zedmid
Pantheon's W stuns through Zed's R dash and his E shield blocks the Q + E proc from one direction. He flattens the kill window before Zed can W-out to safety.
- Zyrasupport
Pantheon's Shield Vault W stuns through plant attacks and his Comet Spear Q poke shreds Zyra's HP bar from outside Grasping Roots E range. Aegis Assault E blocks plant auto-attack damage from one direction, and Grand Starfall R hard-engages over walls.
